Honestly I just buy a parsley, a cilantro, and a green onion every week. Most weeks I use them, occasionally I end up with liquid parsley in the drawer. Still worth it.
Sometimes I forget I bought parsley/cilantro already and then buy ANOTHER one. And then only end up using part of one and then I have two bags of liquid in my fridge.
That's the thing, "disruption" is an ideology about rapid change with little preparation. That's the explicit motto, right--move fast and break stuff.
I agree that institutions should be audited and constantly pushed to reform and improve, but that's a process that demands rigour, research, expertise, familiarity, cost/benefit analysis, etc. It's a lengthy, neverending process, and trying to shortcut it has nasty long-term consequences
The problem is that institutions necessarily have to exist in an environment where they're competing with these forces of rapid change regardless. I think a major issue with our existing apparatus for putting our foot on the breaks is that it just can't keep up the pace and it's failing us for this reason. The pace has changed, we need people with more knowledge of these fields regulating faster.
I think there's something to be said for the need for more drastic interventions. Sometimes institutions hit dead ends and need to be ripped up and re-planted. Revolutions can become necessary, particularly when we're stuck in these configurations where what ought to be a normalizing process is shredding us in half. Acknowledging that there is significant cost involved in this is vital, but iterating isn't always an option.
do you have an example where iterating isn't an option
i agree it's not an option for like NYC and Boston cabbies, but Uber is also very very bad
it seems like you're excited about technology and so want to accelerate things and are thus tempted to decide things are failing us when in fact it just kind of always sucks you can't improve results by going faster
I mean, our data and security regulations are completely non-existent, net neutrality is dead, no one is lifting a finger against the massive tech trusts, our entire democracy was blind-sided by the advent of internet disinformation, social media platforms are completely unregulated, massive amounts of money has been stolen in cryptocurrency scams and we are being completely and utterly raided by corrupt oligarchs. Meanwhile companies like uber are manipulating existing laws to do things to contractors that were never imagined by the people who wrote them. Our government has no idea what the fuck is coming for it when machine learning reaches the next level of development and the human rights abuses that will inevitably lead to, and the people who realize this is all going on are completely powerless to do anything about it. Our institutions are being absolutely trampled.
I'm not excited about technology, I am horrified of it, and how completely under-prepared our institutions are to defend us from it.

ah...hrmm...
and then there's a gag about him getting so scared he turns white? yes i see
I bought Die Hard on blu ray off a friend while she had a moving sale last year. I suppose I should watch it.
it's good to be informed about how wrong the people who say it's the best Christmas movie truly are
some day I plan on watching the Dawn of the Dead remake just so I can be justified when I narrow my eyes at people who say it's better than the original
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it. Please like and subscribe.”

But the gritty remake is better than the corny original.

So one of my nephews is fire truck obsessed. And I found him a cardboard playset that is a fire truck. He can sit inside it, there are buttons and a steering wheel. And I got him a siren and lights to go on top. My sister is not pleased.

movie was made by french people in the late 60s.
Now, the depiction of the same character in the live action movies are......... marginally better.

I liked it a lot as a kid but it didn't really hold up when I watched it a few years ago. Still has some good moments though.
